^16-17 Dan will handle matters of justice for his people;
    he will hold his own just fine among the tribes of Israel.
Dan is only a small snake in the grass,
    a lethal serpent in ambush by the road
When he strikes a horse in the heel,
    and brings its huge rider crashing down.

¹⁸ I wait in hope
    for your salvation, God.

¹⁹ Gad will be attacked by bandits,
    but he will trip them up.
